Description of problem: postfix currently lack of qouta support on Maildir creation time, wich is pretty annoying for a MTA. A proposed patch by http://vda.sourceforge.net is aviable. Proposed and functionality tested pack of rawhide: http://openrisc.rdsor.ro/postfix.spec http://openrisc.rdsor.ro/postfix-2.5.1-3.fc9.src.rpm Excerpt of main.cf for usage: ------------------------------- virtual_mailbox_limit_inbox = yes virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mboxquotas.cf virtual_mailbox_limit_override = yes virtual_overquota_bounce = yes virtual_maildir_limit_message = "Quota exceeded. Recipient's mailbox is full." virtual_create_maildirsize = yes This patch is floating around since years,personally tested several years in some enterpriese enviroments with thousands of accouns, no problem so far using it on any versions of postfix.
Miroslav, Any news ? We are getting F11 soon .. Some NOTES: - Nowdays MTA really should be quota aware on booth SMTP and IMAP/POP3 side, in my very opinion. - Some people would use postfix internal mail injector which lack of quota support, but I agree that on most cases folk will choose dovecot/currier/cyrus's injector which yes are quota aware, thats why upstream dont want to use this pach, they forward and ask you to use other mail injector than postfix internal one, since in most cases postfix is used in conjunction with one IMAP/POP3 suite.
This really needs to go through upstream. If they don't want to include it, that's bad. The patch is non-trivial and with postfix I'd like to stay as close to upstream as possible.
